The Indigenous Digital Excellence (IDX) Initiative is a partnership between the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence and the Telstra Foundation.

The National Centre of Indigenous Excellence is a not-for- profit social enterprise working to build capability and create opportunity with and for generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by delivering life-changing programs.

NCIE is building a thriving and innovative cultural hub grounded in strong cultural identity in a contemporary urban setting in Redfern Sydney. NCIE works with partners based on shared vision, shared values, community value creation and a determination to work for excellent futures for Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples.

The Telstra Foundation believes lives can be changed when great ideas connect with technology. It’s something the Foundation sees everyday. For over a decade, the Foundation has worked with community organisations with appetites for social innovation. The team works with partners to unlock digital potential so that all Australians—regardless of age, income, location, ability—enjoy the social and economic benefits of being connected.

Telstra has been a key supporter of Indigenous Digital Excellence with the NCIE, as the founding partner of the Community of Excellence Indigenous social network and co-creator of the 2013 IDEA Summit. This strong working relationship was amplified in 2013 with the Telstra Foundation’s commitment to work closely with the NCIE to support the development of the IDX Initiative, a partnership that includes a contribution of $5 million over 5 years.
